Supplier Packaging
"Why don't you use Biodegradable Packaging and bubble wrap when you send your orders out?" We're getting there. Good to see the suppliers are following suit as well - I spotted this little sticker on one of our suppliers boxes last week. This is how our lovely Reusable Plastic Glasses and … [Read more...] about Supplier Packaging
Do you sell biodegradable glasses…?
Technically... yes. But you might want to think before going for glasses that on the outside look like the most Eco-friendly option for your needs.

Boxing Clever
As the saying goes... "never judge a book by its cover" and it can be true of our packaging too.

Tiny Tamper Evident Containers
Just like their larger brothers, our small Tamper Evident Containers are quite happy living in the fridge and freezer. They are BPE free, safe for use in the Microwave and will take a hot fill too. The smallest we have available is 60ml, and this is a perfect size for samples and tasters … [Read more...] about Tiny Tamper Evident Containers
Get a grip
Once upon a time, the recommendation was to eat 5 slices of bread a day. (Shows you how old I am) Times have changed, and we end up throwing out half a loaf almost every week as 2 people just don't eat enough of the stuff. Yes, we've frozen loaves before, and then battled with a knife to prize the … [Read more...] about Get a grip
